They were - as I suggested above - lighter, faster, more economical than their inboard (or sterndrive) counterparts. You will probably have to make significant changes to the on-board weights of the boat - batteries, tanks etc in order to get the trim correct.īertram brought out what was effectively an outboard powered version of their 25 and 28 footers - powered by OMC Seadrives. Something for all you 32FB owners to move up to. Jannace likes to refer to this one as a Really Big Blackfin 32FB. We will feature this new 43' in the Nov/Dec issue of BGFJ in our 'Just Splashed' pages. It's unlikely that it will simply be a matter of whipping out the old donks, bolting a bracket to the back and away you go. Here is a photo of Charlie Jannace's latest design the Charles Yachts 430C.
This is because the boat will (probably) float with the chines out of the water, making it very tender to transverse movements on board and wind / wave action - ie it will be rocky-rolly! However, as this is a deep-vee (I believe) you may also find that it becomes rather uncomfortable (and noisy) at rest. It should be faster and (depending on which o/b's you choose) will probably use less fuel. If you want to know about the roots of your boat, I got Charles to do an article on Blackfin history for the Sept/Oct issue of the Big Game Fishing Journal.

He's a sweetheart and full of information. I hunted out Charles Jannace, the designer of the Blackfin 32. There is also a Blackfin owners website that has quite a bit of information.In general though, you can expect the resulting boat to be quite a bit lighter. Most of you guys know I own a 32 Blackfin.

Not so much on the bridge at least, but in the cockpit when running in heavy stuff you will be drenched. My dads boat with 3208s is well over 18,000 lbs (I don't remember the exact displacement), has a full tower, carries 375 gallons of diesel, cruises at 18 knots, and burns 16 gallons an hour at cruise. But then again, the bar has been raised significantly since way back in the 70s and 80s. The fit and finish is not up to the standards of todays high end boats, like Cabo or Viking. Lets talk about all this boat has to offer out of a 24ft boat Call or text John 63. You can tell it was well taken care of by the previous owner. The construction on the boat really is top notch. We have available this great looking 2019 Blackfin 242CC. She is much wider, and thus has more cockpit and storage than the 31.
You feel mere secure when bracing against them with a big fish on.

The free board is higher and so are the gunwales in the cockpit. while laid out like a B31, she has differences. She punches way above her weight in that category. The boat is probably the best head see boat I have ever ridden in, bar none. out to the West Hump 25 miles south of Islamorda, Florida, to fish for blackfin tuna.
Twin 3208s at 260 hp that are still running strong. I bought this boat from my neighbor who is the original owner. I can put you in contact with the owner to anyone interested or find it on FB market. Worth 20k all engine is basically new and the owners are very knowledgeable.
John- I can not speak for the 33, but I know the 32 intimately. Boat is in immaculate condition and has to be one of the most thought out tuna skiffs out there.
